Broad Security Agreement Near WASHING-TON Ways and Means Committee Democrats reported near-final agreement to-: day on a plan to expand social security and to raise the money to pay for them. The House group arranged to' take up the program behind closed doors, with a possibility the day may bring action to send the bill to the House. 1 Committee Democrats conferred secretly on the plan yesterday. Some, asking not to be Quoted by name, said the majority members decided to vote for: 1. Lowering from 65 to 62 the at which women can become eligible for social security pay' ments.

2. Allowing payment after age 50, instead of 65, to disabled workers covered by the system. 3. Continuing benefits for disabled children past the age of 18. To pay for this, the informants 'said, a social security tax increase of 0.9 per cent was found to he necessary -to keep the social security fund from running the red.

When tax hike wcfuld take ef- Vfect remained to be decided, butj Jan. 1, 1957, was regarded as the' most likely cate. The probable method of f.oing| this would be to advance to Jan. the date on which social security taxes are set to go up from 'the present 2 per cent to per cent paid by both worker and employer. The present schedule calls for the per cent rate to take effect in 1960, with further in creases at five-year intervals thereafter.

IT OUT All in a Uietime GOOD SAMARITAN Electronic Computers Run Into Hunnan Brain Shortage By WABREN BENNETT (For Sam Dawson) NEW YORK Those big electronic computers, called the "giant brain," have run into a shortage of human brains to tell them what to do. If the truth be known, a giant llibrain is really quite stupid. It does Lifer May Share in Half Million CHESAPEAKE, Ohio (ff)-A convict serving a life term in the West Virginia Penitentiary may be heir to a share of a $500,000 trust fund left by his sister. He is William Ellis, 48, whose sister Mrs. Helen E.

Roy, formerly from this area, died in Victorville, in 1950, and left her $500,000 estate in trust to her husband John. He died last month. Robert Ellis, 39, Union Township clerk, and Carroll Ellis, 28, a truck driver, nephews of the Roys, are leaving their Chesapeake home Friday for California to claim a share in the trust fund. Other apparent heirs include Roy's sister Mrs. Tennessee only what it is told.

A big brain like Sperry Rand UNIVAC or International Business Machine model 702 has the computing ability of 25,000 trained mathematicians. It can remember enough information to fill an Manhattan telephone directory, perform logical operations at the rate of 7,200 a second and double check every one as it goes along. But when a big brain comes to a point in a problem where it hasn't been told previously what to do, it just stops. Few Programmers People who tell the machine what to do are called programmers. They set up the steps the machine is to follow before it can solve any problem.

The giant electronic btain weighing tons, is helpless without a programmer with a hu man brain, weighing about three pounds.

There is a shortage of good programmers. There is a shortage, too, ot people suitable for training as programmers. Too much isn't known yet about all the qualifications but this much is sure. A Ph.D. degree no longer qualifies a prospect automatically.

Too many learned experts with a string jof graduate degrees have turned out to be lousy programmers. Horse Sense Needed "Perhaps the key is logic," said jDr. Herbert F. MitcheU director ot Sperry Rand's DNIVAC applications. "Good old fashioned horse sense probably is a better term." Both Sperry Rand and IBM found to their surprise that civilian business applications are harder to set up for the computer than the supposedly much more cliffi- cult scientific problems on which they worked for the government the war.

Core of the current difficulty Is the difference between the languages used by science and business. The language of science is definite, unvarying. One and one makes two. Always! But the language of business is different. "Scientific applications are logical and simple," said Mitchell, "whereas commercial applications are subject to the individual interpretations of man." Idioms Pestiferous Language is difficult because It is not precise.

The word "fast" can mean fleet of foot or the direct opposite as in "tied fast." Or quite a different meaning as in a character reference. Then there is the idiom. Idioms are pure torture to programmers because they are not logical. Take a word like "charleyhorse." Charley is a nickname for Charles. A horse is a type of animal but a charleyhorse does tiot mean a horse named "Charley.

It is a muscular contraction which may take place in the calf and can make you yell like crazy. And calf in this case does not mean a baby cow. Finally, if this story were programmed and given to a big brain as a problem it would have read it in a little less than five thousandths of a of a second to be precise. How long did it take you? Never mind, it took longer than that for this three pound brain to write it. And a big brain never could.

Floods HifRed China's Economy By WARREN ROGERS JR. WASHINGTON (M-American of- ificials see a 20 per cent lag in Red China's five-year plan as probably the gravest proWem facing the annual people's congress now under way at Peiping. It means, in the view of specialists here, that this is a make or jbreak year for the Communists in Itheir race to balance China's agriculture with industry by the end of 1957. The Reds may tailor their goals downward, as they have done before. Even so, officials here they must take a major stride during the next 12 months alone or concede failure.

Floods Take Toll A major cause of Peiping 's falling behind its self-imposed goals was the terrible toU of last year's floods, the worst in a century. There was also a drought. 's agricultural economy operates on a very, narrow margin in a country where flood and famine are to be expected. Fluctuation by one percentage point affects millions of people. Peiping has just completed a deal to buy 200,000 tons of rice from Burma.

Specialists say that' will feed about one million people for one year. China 's population is 250 million. Hit New Areas Donald Hawkins Claims Bride in Brodhead Church BRODHEAD Donald Dean Hawkins claimed Miss Delores Lucille Stauffacher as his bride' June 29 in the Congregational Church. The Rev. J.

C. Robertson read the rites for the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Stauffacher and the son of Dean Hawkins. Carrying a white mum and carnation bouquet tied with ribbon bows, the bride appeared in a white taffeta gown styled with a peplum at the waist and a gathered bodice.

A fingertip veil and a locket and bracelet, gifts from the groom, completed her ensemble. Miss Doris Mae Stauffacher, MonticeUo, the bride's cousin, was bridesmaid in a floor length pink net over taffeta dress fashioned with a peplum at the waist, a gathered bodice, and a pink net ruffled hat. She carried white mums and pink carnations. Paul Miller, Brodhead, was best man. A reception for 35 persons was held in the Frank Wendlandt home.

Fifth Ave. U.S. amateur photographers spend 400 million dollars a year on equipment. The bad thing about last year's floods, officials say, was that they struck in areas which normally escape the annual inundation. In their wake they left sand and silt, six Inches to three feet deep, in paddies of such areas as south China, which normally n.ust import some rice.

A major item on the agenda of the legislative congress at Peiping is a proposal to control the River. Recreation Calendar Wednesday, July 9 7:30 p.m.—City Softball Thursdsy.
